Think of something related to Perl that you a) always wanted to know or b) think everyone else needs to know 2. Summarise the essence of your question/tip in less than 5 words 3. Write those words on the back of a business card (or something else with your name on it) 4. Bring the card with you tonight and drop it in the 'hat' on the way in. Here's an example: You think everyone needs to know about what happens when you set the special Perl variable $/ to the empty string. So you write 'paragraph slurping' on a card and drop it in the hat. At the Mongers meeting, we will draw out as many cards as we have time for. If your card is drawn, you should be prepared to stand up and talk about the subject for 5 minutes. Of course if it was a question, you just need to be prepared to clearly state the question and the group will take over from there. Spread the word, bring a friend, let people know about the group and the mailing list.
